new must-see sites.
(pics courtesy of werelse.com and fashionquad.com)
I just found out about this new site. Werelse is the result of three well-known fashion bloggers coming together in order to create a unique mecca for online fashion. Right now they are only offering limited edition Tees. But, we'll keep an eye on this site to see how it progresses!
AND...
The styles that make up this collection are effortlessly classic, sleek and have a certain touch of rustic minimalism. While the clothes are reminiscent of the past, there is something equally futuristic about them too. This means that you will be able to pass these "vintage" pieces down to your children and grandchildren and be assured that they will be the most "fashion-forward" kids around (that is, if and when you're ready to give them up).
Visit the website here.

I. Want.
It's definitely about time for a few more pairs of jeans... I'm looking for comfort, versatility, and above all quality. These are the jeans I have my eyes on for my next shopping binge:
Nudie Jeans and yes, they're "men's." However, these jeans can look great on women too! This eco-conscious company makes quality denim and also has a vested interest in philanthropy. Check out their jeans and their amazing Human Rights Gallery.
Every girl needs a pair of J Brands... right? I would love this pair of Mid-Rise Skinny Leg velvet pants in sapphire blue and the Low-Rise Pencil Leg jeans in terra cotta.

My new earrings from hushboutique.com. I went to a spa and style social over the weekend and they were selling selected items from this online store. I had never heard of them before but they have a lot of cute clothes and accessories. Check them out!
Jimmy Choo Exclusive Preview
If you're in the DC area, meet me at this event! Jimmy Choo and Hela Salon and Spa are teaming up for charity. Jimmy Choo is launching its Cruise 2012 Collection. If you purchase a pair of shoes, you will receive a coupon for a complimentary 30-minute Red Flower foot scrub. AND a portion of the proceeds will benefit the Libby Ross Foundation!
Versace x H&M
H&M isn't one of my favorite stores (gasp!), even in spite of the many collaborations it's had with dozens of leading designers. However, I am really looking forward to seeing what Donatella Versace and her team have put together for this collabo. Rumi and Bryan Boy (two of my favorite fashion bloggers) have already shown some pieces on their blogs. They look "runway exotic" but tame enough to be wearable, which is what I love. You can always count on Versace to be unashamedly bold, sexy, and edgy in their delivery.
The collection is available in the USA on Friday, the 19th : )

A Few Fashion Staples for Fall
It's finally getting cold and I absolutely love it! Cold weather means cute jackets and (faux) fur coats, beautiful scarves and hats, and a reason to wear oversized boots. Not to mention all of the wonderful layering that can be done when its cold. I love layering.
Take a look at the fashion picks I think every woman should have in her closet as we approach the holiday season:
Take a look at the fashion picks I think every woman should have in her closet as we approach the holiday season:
1. A blue and/or a black blazer. Under it, wear a blouse, a turtle neck, or a simple, good-quality tee (I spotted a great one last weekend in the Rag & Bone in Georgetown) and you'll instantly look put together. Now that it's chilly, add a scarf and a few pieces of statement jewelry and you're done. It doesn't take much to make a classic blazer look nice. Erika Marie of Fashion Chalet knows how to rock a blazer.
2. Two or three pairs of good, black tights. So. Essential. They go with just about anything AND keep your legs warm. Throw in some with patterns... Stripes and floral prints are always sexy.

3. We all have a pair of the quintessential snow boots. I've seen thousands of UGGS in my day. But do you have a good pair of "rugged" boots? If not, go hunting for some (and let me know what you find)! They are stylish, even the ones who have the "already worn" feel, they keep your feet from freezing, and can easily be dressed up or down. Easily a new staple for your closet. Here's some inspiration:
